HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN.


A Maryland Chemlsi Rsokoned Wlthout
Tii- Host.
/ live in the midst Of the malaral dis
tricts Of Maryland, near the city Of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous Influences Of the impure air
and water Of that region.
Being naturally Of a strong consti-
tuition, ! had frequently boosted that
no chills and fever or other malarous
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which found myself six
months ago. first noticed that | did
not feel so jprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enevated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent Then a
stre,chy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear As a bell, would feel heavy
and began to have headaches
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering Of the teeth, severe ugors passed
over me, and no amount Of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn BY the fever, in which
l seemed to be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced a violent
pain in the frontal portion and heat
ed sensation Of the eyelids, with an in
desoribable aching Of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox-
ysms passed off was thoroughly pros
trated by a weakness thar was felt in
every part Of me.
| drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief But my respite
was Of bnei duration. was now so
much reduced that | could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated in a continued malaral fe-
yer which kept me closely confined for
about a week. became exceedingly
depressed ind melancholy, so much so
that ] lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be I'M
derstood that did not neglect medical
treatment All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate Of potash. valeriante of iron,
mercury bromide Of potassium, chic
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dia, qumine and several others. All
this | did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
TWAS while / was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. knew nothing OF its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed |
deemed it myduty to try it, 50 | began
its use, and Its prompt and radical ef-
fects were OF the nature Of arevelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact thar after only a few days use of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case we're decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in few weeks
from the time I took the first dose
was cured.
This was about the first Of January,
and since then have experienced no
recurrence Of the malanal symptoms
in any form. A remedy of such ex-
ceptional virtue for the cure Of malaria
ought TO be commended and univer-
sally made known. | have therefore
urged it upon the attention Of my
friends, several Of whom have used it
with ike good result, in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that commend Kaskine
to sufferer. from malaria everywhere.
